Bloody Clash on the U.S. Aircraft Carrier Abraham Lincoln A military source informed Tasnim: 🔹Following widespread protests from the families of the crew of the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln, which has been on mission for 359 days, one of the advisors to Brian Cooper, the commander of CENTCOM, entered the ship to calm the tense atmosphere on board, and during a speech to a group of personnel, he was met with protests and water bottles thrown by the crew. 🔹This incident led to a clash between the personnel and the crew using knives and cold weapons, resulting in the death of 7 crew members and several others injured, and the situation on the ship remains tense and unstable. 🔹The main mission of this ship, which is currently located in the Indian Ocean, involves a naval blockade of Iran. 🔹The crew of the ship has complained about the very little food provided, half a cup of rice and two pieces of meat, the two-week closure of the ship's laundry, and the moldy environment of the ship's showers that leads to fungal contamination among the crew, with no explanation given by CENTCOM leadership. 🔹In a similar incident on the aircraft carrier Gerald Ford, which occurred on 12 March 2026 (Esfand 1404), the accommodation area for 600 of the crew caught fire, and 200 of them were injured. 🔹After evacuating the injured to the naval base on the island of Crete, Greece, the Gerald Ford was forced to retreat to the U.S. and will be under repair until next spring.
